I think it was on a meateater podcast a few months back, they were talking to a savage rep, his thoughts are that it makes no difference to a barrel if you do any break in procedure at all. Shoot em, clean em.

What does barrel break in do? Keep them shooting straight for a longer period? Doubt it.. Make a rifle more accurate? That makes me laugh.
When the manufacturer of custom rifles and barrels suggest break-in techniques, I tend to error on the side of those experts. For me, I know I don't need to clean mine as often as some of my other rifles. More accurate....I don't know, but it does group very nicely even though I used the break-in techniques suggested.
Everyone has an opinion, so if you think it is a waste of time, don't do it. I will go with what was recommended by the professional that built my rifle.
No, just pointing out that barrel makers and 'smiths aren't immune to pushing a little snake oil.
